Vlad from SOMA presented the Enigma synthesizer at Superbooth 2026 This intriguing instrument offered a unique approach to sound control through a special arrangement of metallic objects. Each object corresponds to a sound parameter, revealing different behaviors and sounds depending on their arrangement and material properties.
A unique feature of Enigma is its lack of included objects; instead, you are encouraged to collect your own, adding a personal touch to the experience. Enigma operates in various modes, with different sensor states providing diverse landscapes of sound. This leads to a discovery-based interaction as you explore hidden connections within the device.
Enigma supports spatial sound with stereo and headphone outputs. It also integrates MIDI and clock inputs for seamless synchronization with external sequencers and DAWs, allowing you to incorporate Enigma's distinctive sounds into your compositions. Priced at 590 euros, Enigma was anticipated to be available by mid-summer. The brief manual invites you to explore the synthesizer's mysteries, making each experience uniquely yours.
